Frankly I don't care what the machine does to the return mail you sent back out of frustration, but I do care what happens to the utility bill payment it shredded as it jammed.
Just as an FYI - I don't overstuff it. Some pieces get discarded here, and what has my name on it, goes back in the envelope.
